What’s Included in the v1.0.5a Build?
This version refines the core loop of scavenging during the day and frantically defending your base against horrors at night, offering deep strategy and base-building.
1. Two Games in One
- Daytime Mining: Descend into the underground to haul out life-saving resources. Upgrade your rusty shovel into a planet-cracking drill, supercharge your jetpack, and enhance your gadgets to brave the wasteland.
- Nighttime Defense: Erect barriers, lay down traps, and set up automated machine guns, laser cannons, and rocket launchers. When the night hits its climax, jump behind the main turret yourself to personally turn the tide of battle.
2. Deep Progression & Roguelike Elements
- Tech Trees: Evolve your survival capabilities through three independent tech trees: Character, Turret, and Base.
- Weapon Specializations: Choose your playstyle, whether it’s picking off mutants as a Hunter with a Railgun, holding them back as a Suppressor with a Tesla Cannon, or turning the field into hell as an Artillerist with Cluster Grenades.
- Artifacts: Discover unique, roguelike artifacts that rewrite the rules of your run, such as slowing projectiles or calling in kamikaze drones.
3. Update 1.0.5a Enhancements
- Progression Overhaul: The upgrade tree has been rebalanced to make Tier 4 unlock faster and significantly reduce the exhausting resource grind previously found at Tier 3.
